SYMPTOMS
========

This article describes the update for SNA Server Windows 95 clients that use a
non-named-pipe transport (such as Banyan Vines, IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP Sockets) and
do not log on to a Windows NT domain.

When you configure a SNA Server Windows 95 client for a non-named pipe transport
SNA Server uses the Windows 95 cached password to validate users for sponsor
connections (A sponsor connection is used by SNA Server to learn about the SNA
Server domain.) However, if Windows 95 is not configured to log on to a Windows
NT domain, you must install the update and provide your SNA Server Windows 95
client registry with your Windows NT domain username and password as explained
below.

For more information about the Windows 3.x client, please see the following
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
================

When to Use the Update
----------------------

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems
that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

The following conditions require you to install the update and configure the
Windows 95 client registry to supply a Windows NT domain username and password:

 - If Client for Microsoft Networks is not listed in the Windows 95 Control
   Panel Networks option.

   -or-

 - If, when you select Client for Microsoft Networks, there is no check mark
   next to Log on to Windows NT Domain.

Required Windows 95 Registry Entries
------------------------------------

The new update requires that you add new values and your Windows NT Domain
username and password to the Windows 95 registry.

You can add the required information under HKEY_CURRENT_USER or the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree. However, the Windows 95 client checks the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER first and therefore performs faster if you choose that
subtree. To add the information:

1. Under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER subtree (or the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree), go
   to the following subkey:

Software\Microsoft\SnaBase\Parameters

2. Add the following value names, data types, and data for your password and
   username:

      Value Name: Password
      Data Type:  REG_SZ
      Data:       <your_password>

      Value Name: UserName
      Data Type:  REG_SZ
      Data:       <your_user_name>

Updated Files

Microsoft has updated the following files:

   <SNA_Root>\SYSTEM\SNABASE.EXE
